Today, I went to check out Tropic Thunder. I really liked the idea of a send-up of Hollywood and snooty actors. And the cast has been in some very funny movies - what better way to avoid the blowtorch that is a Phoenix afternoon in August?
Well, let's just say this: The film featured a water buffalo and a dead panda. Really, a dead horse would've been more appropriate.
A few funny moments (most of which you've already seen in the previews) and some beautiful scenery. Other than that, save your $8 and catch it on DVD. That's two strikes in a row for Jack Black. Lost count on Mr. Stiller, but this was no Zoolander or The Mystery Men.
Here's something somewhat related that I've been wondering for awhile: When did previews become known as "trailers"? Must we all speak in Hollywood jargon?
